Chapter 666


    “When is the press conference?” Anastasia asked.


    “Next Saturday.” Larry replied dutifully.


    “I’ll be there,” she promised with a nod.


    He beamed as he added, “I’m sure the Bourgeois team will be happy to have you at the helm of the


    business.”


    She smiled. “Well, in that case, I look forward to hearing more of your business strategies and having


    you show me the ropes, Vice President Young.”


    While this was happening, Elliot was in his office at Presgrave Group, sifting through the documents piled


    up on his desk when he came across a resume. He opened the folder and frowned slightly. It was


    Lori’s resume, and she was applying not for an important position, but for an analyst job advertised by


    the finance department in one of his subsidiaries in the country.


    However, as it was against the rules to employ members of the Presgraves’ extended family, Elliot had


    no choice but to reject her job application. He decided that he would personally rmend her to some


    otherpany instead.


    Seeing the number she had written at the very top of her resume, he grabbed his phone and called her.


    “Hello?” Lori greeted on the other line.


    “Hey, Lori, it’s Elliot here. I just saw your resume and I believe an analyst job is far beneath your


    capabilities,” he said in a gravelly tone.

    Lori said earnestly, “Elliot, if you’ve read my resume, you would know that I don’t care about the job as


    much as I do about getting into yourpany.”


    “I can rmend you to anotherpany that happens to be hiring, and I think you’d be a good fit for


    the job,” Elliot said firmly.


    She paused for a few seconds before pressing, “I’m actually in the area right


    now. Is it okay if I head to your office for a quick chat, Elliot? I don’t think I’ve ever seen it in person


    before.”


    Prepared to talk her into taking up the job at the otherpany, he replied, “Alright then. Come on over.”


    They were family, after all, and he figured there was no harm in letting her up to his office for a brief,


    friendly conversation.


    Meanwhile, Lori was checking her reflection in the restroom mirror in one of the nearby cafes. She


    evaluated her face from all angles underneath the white light. When she was satisfied with the way she


    looked alongside her delicately applied make-up, she straightened her white blouse and her tight-fitting


    skirt, then flipped her long hair over her shoulders. For a finishing touch, she gave herself a light spritz of


    perfume and finally walked out.


    Subsequently, she pulled up outside the main entrance of Presgrave Group. She was more than familiar


    with thepany since her father had a friend who worked here as well. When she called the


    receptionist earlier, she made


    no mention of Elliot whatsoever.


    She went into the elevator, and the receptionist who escorted her left as soon as they reached the


    designated floor. Seeing this, Lori hurried into another avable elevator and made her way up to the


    presidential office.


    Rey was already waiting for her, and when she arrived, he said, “This way please, Miss Presgrave.”


    Lori nodded and followed him into the spacious office, which she thought was only charming because


    of its owner.


    “Elliot,” she greeted warmly when she saw the man on the couch.


    “Oh, good, you’re here. Have a seat,” Elliot said, gesturing toward the matching couch across from him.


    “This ce is humungous, and that view outside is absolutely stunning!” She was never one to hold back


    onpliments, and the words flowed smoothly off her tongue as she shed him a smile.


    Elliot handed her a docket of information and said, “That’s the financialpany I was telling you about.


    The president happens to be a friend of mine. I already put in a word for you, and he said you could start


    working immediately without having to go through an interview.”


    “You pulled strings for me? Wow, I’m honored!” she eximed. Taking the docket, she leafed through the


    company profile and the position they were offering her, then looked up with bright eyes as she asked,


    “They’re going to make me supervisor?”


    He nodded. “You’re qualified for it.”


    “That’s so nice of you to say,” Lori said with a sweet smile, admiration glittering in her eyes.


    Elliot’s gaze fell upon the document on the coffee table as he said, “You can start work next Monday.”
